Front air bags

OKA4H023104

Front air bags are designed to inflate in a frontal collision depending on several factors, including the severity of impact of the front collision.

Side/curtain air bags, and/or the front center side air bag

The actual air bags in the vehicle may differ from the illustration.

Side/curtain air bags, and/or the front center side air bag are designed to inflate when an impact is detected by side collision sensors depending on several factors, including the severity of impact resulting from a side impact collision.

Also, the side/curtain air bags, and/or the front center side air bag are designed to inflate when an impending rollover is predicted by a rollover sensor.

Although the front air bags (driver's and front passenger's air bags) are primarily designed to inflate in frontal collisions, they may inflate in other types of collisions if the front impact sensors detect a sufficient frontal force in another type of impact.

Similarly, although side/curtain air bags, and/or the front center side air bag are designed to inflate in certain side impact collisions, they may inflate in other types of collisions where a side force is detected by the sensors. For instance, side/curtain air bags, and/or the front center side air bag may inflate if rollover sensors indicate the possibility of a rollover occurring (even if none actually occurs) or in other situations, including when the vehicle is tilted while being towed.

Even if side/curtain air bags, and/or the front center side air bag do not provide impact protection in a rollover, they will deploy to help prevent risk of ejection of occupants, especially those who are restrained with seat belts.

If the vehicle chassis is impacted by bumps or objects on unimproved roads, the air bags may deploy. Drive carefully on unimproved roads or on surfaces not designed for vehicle traffic to prevent unintended air bag deployment.
